During his last three games, Kaepernick has thrown for 712 yards, six touchdowns, and just one interception. He has also scored a rushing touchdown during this same period of time.
Fantasy Impact: On Sunday, the 49ers and their quarterback will be matching up against the Chicago Bears.
The Bears have played okay against Kaepernick’s position group this season, as they are only allowing the 14th fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in 2016. However, signal callers have thrown for a total of 10 touchdowns and only one interception against Chicago in their last five games.
Yahoo! is projecting Kaepernick to rush for 49 yards and throw for 216 yards, with one touchdown and one interception against the Bears this Sunday. His matchup and his recent lack of turnovers may be worth enough for some fantasy owners to give him a start in their lineups this week.
